The general procedure for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolide IL was
derived from that described by Fukumoto.18 The structures for all IL
synthesized by this method are shown in Figure 4. A solution of 1b
(1.63 g, 11.2 mmol) in EtOH (25 mL) was treated with 40% tetra-
butyl phosphonium hydroxide ([P4444]OH) in H2O (7.84 g, 11.3
mmol) and was stirred at 50 °C for 6 h. The solvent was then evap-
orated, and the residue was vacuum dried at 50 °C until constant
weight. The product was taken up in EtOAc (10 mL), filtered
through a 0.2 μm syringe filter, evaporated, and vacuum dried to
give a brown liquid (4.81 g, 106% yield). This liquid was then pu-
rified as described by Burrell,19 by refluxing over activated charcoal
in MeOH at 65 °C for 24 h. Evaporation and vacuum drying at
50 °C gave a pale red-brown liquid. 1H NMR (700 MHz, DMSO):
δ = 7.69 (m, 2 H, 2-Ph), 7.60 (s, 1 H, triazole CH), 7.26 (m, 2 H, 2-
Ph), 7.04 (m, 1 H, 4-Ph), 2.16 (m, 8 H, PCH2), 1.41 (m, 16 H,
PCH2), 0.90 (t, 12 H, PCH3). 13C NMR (101 MHz, DMSO): δ =
142.8 (triazole), 135.7 (triazole), 128.1, 126.9, 124.4, 124.3, 23.2
(dd, PCH2), 17.3 (d, 48.5 Hz, PCH2), 13.2 (PCH3). 31P NMR (162
MHz, DMSO): δ = 33.6. FTIR (ATR film): 2958, 2928, 2871, 1603,
1465, 1379, 1096, 1047, 965, 906, 763, 718, 696, 682, 605, 512 cm–1.
ESI-MS (+/–, MeOH): m/z calcd for C22H43N3P: 403.58; m/z calcd
for cation C16H36P+ [M+]: 259.43; found: 259.27; m/z calcd for an-
ion C8H6N3– [M–]: 144.15; found: 144.07.
